Traditional Chinese Medicine the twelve meridians

Meridian is the general name of meridian. Internal organs, external body surface. Meridian, also known as meridian, means path. Meridian runs through the top and bottom, communicating inside and outside, and is the longitudinal trunk of meridian system. So "passers-by have a way." Most of the meridians run in the deep part of the human body, and some parts also run. Collateral, also known as collateral, means contacts. Collaterals are branches of meridians, smaller than meridians. Therefore, it is said that "the branch is the network." The network is criss-crossed, and the network is everywhere. Meridian system, like the tap water pipeline system in the city, has a main canal and branch pipes, which are finally sent to thousands of households.

1. When Taiyin hand lung meridian is cloudy (3 o'clock to 5 o'clock)-lung meridian is flourishing.

When I am asleep, I am red and full of energy; "The lungs are full of pulses." After the liver gives birth to new blood in ugliness, it provides fresh blood to the lungs and sends it to the whole body through the lungs. Therefore, people are rosy and energetic in the morning. In Yin Shi, patients with lung diseases have the strongest reaction, such as severe cough or asthma and waking up.

The lungs will cover the whole body with enough fresh blood, and then promote the large intestine to enter an excited state, completing the process of absorbing water and nutrition from food and discharging dregs. It is best to defecate after getting up in the morning.

The way to keep fit: get up quickly, drink a cup of warm water after getting up, then rush into the toilet and excrete all the waste accumulated in the day!

Spleen is the master of digestion, absorption and excretion, and also the commander-in-chief of human blood. "The spleen opens in the mouth and its brilliance lies in the lips." Spleen function is good, digestion and absorption are good, and blood quality is good, so lips are rosy. White lips indicate insufficient blood gas, while dark lips and purple lips indicate cold entering the spleen meridian.

1 1. gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang (23: 00 to 1:00)- gallbladder meridian is flourishing.

Sleep well when you are young, and your dark circles are not exposed; Chinese medicine theory holds that; "After the liver, it is discharged into the gallbladder and concentrated on the essence." When people fall asleep before childhood, the gallbladder can complete metabolism. "How clear the bile is, how clear the brain is." People who fall asleep before midnight wake up in the morning with a clear mind, rosy face and no dark circles. On the other hand, those who often can't sleep in childhood will be pale and have black eyes. At the same time, due to the bad metabolism of bile detoxification, it is easier to produce crystals and stones.

Health: Clinically, most patients with heart disease die at night. If there are patients with heart disease at home, we should strengthen observation and prepare the rescue pills.

Don't sleep late if you are ugly, and there is no spot on your face; Chinese medicine theory says: "Liver stores blood." "When people lie down, blood returns to the liver." If you are ugly and can't sleep, and the liver is still outputting energy to support people's thinking and actions, you can't complete metabolism. Therefore, people who can't sleep in front of clowns have a blue face, a slow and impetuous mood, and are prone to liver disease, and their faces are black and long.

The way of keeping in good health: you must enter a deep sleep state, so that the liver can get the maximum energy. If you don't sleep when you are ugly and the liver is still outputting energy to support people's thinking and action, you can't complete metabolism. People with strong deficiency fire can fall asleep at this time, but they can also reduce deficiency fire. It is suggested to choose more diets: peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts, hawthorn, grapes, bananas, plums, tomatoes, lotus roots, leeks, fungus, beef, chicken and kelp.
